Software Update: X File Explorer 0.70

X File Explorer, also known as Xfe, is a file manager for the X environment. The basis of this program is the then popular X Win Commander, but because the development of this was stopped, they started developing Xfe. Recently version 0.70 has been made available by Roland Baudin. The release notes and changelog since the previous release look like this:

This release supports the new FOX 1.2.x stable library. The main visible change is the support of anti-aliased fonts. Also, some minor GUI changes have been done and some bugs have been fixed.

Version 0.70 (released 07-29-2004):

• fixed a bug in DirListBox with the expand/collapse tree commands
• fixed a bug when hiding the status bar : now, the entire bar can be hidden
• fixed the date format in the Properties dialog
• Tab key now allows to cycle through the DirPanel and FilePanels
• improved the refresh in DirList that was consuming too much resources
• fixed a bug with the file dates in FileList that were no more in local format
• added a shortcut to Shift-F10 for the right popup menu in FilePanel

Version 0.69 (not released):

• fixed a crash bug with Xfq, when the file to open doesn’t exist
• fixed a bug in FileList when selecting a file and moving the horizontal scroll bar
• fixed a bug with large filesystems size
• more better handle (I hope…) of NFS and SMB breakdowns
